Burren Yoga Teacher Training Courses

From time to time we run training courses and retreats which are either aimed specifically at Yoga Teachers or people wishing to go deeper into their yoga practice and considering becoming a yoga teacher.

Yoga Nidra Teacher Training course

This training course takes place over 2 modules of long weekends.

The first is 12th – 14th October 2012 and the second is January 18th – 20th 2013

This training course is offered in conjunction with Yogacampus.

The course is primarily designed for qualified yoga teachers and yoga therapists and trainee yoga teachers.

However, dedicated yoga practitioners, counsellors, psychotherapists, life coaches, clinical hypnotherapists, complementary medicine practitioners and others with an interest in the healing power of yoga may also apply, but acceptance would depend upon them being able to demonstrate an appropriate level of yogic understanding.

This course offers a unique approach to the exploration and understanding of how to practice and teach the most powerfully transformative yoga technique: Yoga Nidra.

It will enable you to understand the power of this practice and how to use it within your own life, and to help others use it as a transformational practice.

Easter 2013 week retreat with the amazing David Muehsam

David is one of the few teachers in the world to receive written authorisation from Pattabhi Jois.

He also has a large amount of training completed with the Iyengar Istitute in New York and also a large amount of practice with Satyananda yoga.

“David is the most experienced and talented teacher to ever come to Burren Yoga” – Dave

He will be teaching a 1 week residential retreat Easter 2013 from Friday 29th March to Thursday 4th April

We only take 15 people on our retreats and if you are considering taking up a yoga teacher training course in the next 2 years, this is a wonderful opportunity to spend a week working with one of the most talented yoga teachers in the world.

This retreat is open to everybody from complete beginners to advanced.

David will teach to each person’s individual level so that everybody will be catered for no matter what their age or level of experience.

“An amazing break away to completely switch off” Reviewed 14th March 2019
Words won’t be able to do this justice!!!! (But I will try) What an amazing trip from start to finish. I did a weekend here and from the moment I walked in the door I literally felt all my worries float away. I went by myself (which I have never done before for anything) and I have to say everyone is just so welcoming and I felt like I knew them all for years. I felt so relaxed…Read More

“Transformational, healing and great craic!” Reviewed 5th March 2019
The retreat has been a catalyst in keeping a regular meditation practice which I feel the daily benefits from in my life – and has also deepened and inspired my asana yoga practice through this greater self-connection. I went alone to the retreat, but felt a warm and lovely connection with all who were part of it (being surprised with a birthday cake baked by Paddi will remain one of my many cherished memories). Guided group walks were beautiful and superbly organised by Dave…Read More

“Finding True Inner Peace” Reviewed 20th February 2019
I’m a complete beginner and my girlfriend has a bit of experience. We both wanted a relaxing weekend away but got so much more. It truly blew my expectations out of the water. The weekend was amazing, met fantastic people, and I feel like a new man after leaving the retreat and will most definitely be returning…

“Yoga and much more” Reviewed 10th December 2019
I’ve stayed in the Burren Yoga Centre on at least 7 different occasions since 2008 and continue to enjoy the yoga, the food and the trips to different areas within the Burren. This constant is a testament to the special nature of the Centre, it’s unique ambience and setting, the quality of its teachers and the love and careful attention which Dave applies to all that it offers.

“Inspiring and refreshing week” Reviewed 15th January 2018
A hidden oasis in the rogue Burren. The specially built Yoga Centre where you can experience serenity in the air you breathe. Highly recommend! The yoga sessions developed steadily during our week stay. We had meditations which reminded me how healing is to practice it on a daily basis.…

“Another magical experience!!” Reviewed 22nd September January 2017
I attended a week long yoga retreat with Bella Hancock an amazing teacher who is very friendly, kind and encouraging. Her classes were very special as they were filled with relaxing yoga, wonderful chanting and music and so much warmth. I enjoyed every minute of them. It was a truly magical experience. I have been to the Burren Yoga centre many times before……

“A wonderful place to be” Reviewed 22nd April 2017
I spent a wonderful week of meditation and yoga at the Burren Yoga Retreat during April 2017. This was my second visit to the retreat which is superbly run and organised. The centre draws me back for many reasons including the tranquillity of the location; a real rustic down to earth feel with a blend of uplifting spirituality and peace; the exquisite vegetarian food professionally prepared; the day trips to the beautiful Burren landscape with lunch at the finest local restaurants with menus to suit all tastes. Any one of these is reason enough to come to this wonderful place. Above all it’s the quality of the teaching.

“Relaxing, enjoyable and rejuvenating weekend”Reviewed 28th March 2017
I spent a weekend at the Burren Retreat Centre…I didn’t want to leave and I’d love to go back. It was the ideal place to get away to, to ‘switch off’ for the weekend. I’d highly recommend it, even if you’ve no experience of yoga or meditation. The centre is lovely, comfortable and homely and the staff are very welcoming and friendly. Dave is a fantastic host and an engaging teacher.

“A Very Positive and Relaxing Experience”Reviewed 12th June 2016
The Burren Yoga Centre is a little gem in the West of Ireland. Dave the owner was a wonderful host and guide. Niamh is down to earth and a really fantastic teacher. Her classes were challenging but very rewarding as we improved more and more each day. The outdoor adventures were breath-taking, from taking a boat trip to see the Cliffs of Moher, to hiking up the Burren hills, to visiting a hermits cave deep in a hidden forest, to meditating under the famous Dolmen and swimming in the Atlantic.

“A Great Weekend”Reviewed 10th June 2016
I couldn’t recommend the Burren Yoga Centre enough for some time away. It was just the right mix of relaxation/meditation (I couldn’t begin to describe the positive atmosphere) and activities. Wonderful opportunities to see the surrounding countryside and villages and really amazing food!!!Read More

“The Most Unbelievable Weekend”Reviewed 8th June 2016
I cannot recommend this yoga and meditation centre enough! The centre is located in the beautiful and peaceful Burren, providing the perfect location for a weekend of relaxation.

Dave could not have been more helpful or welcoming to all the guests! The centre itself is clean, comfortable and very homely. The days spent here are filled with great yoga classes, the most amazing vegetarian food and day trips in the Burren.

No matter what your reason for attending a yoga retreat at The Burren Yoga Retreat Centre, you are guaranteed to come away feeling relaxed, reenergised and fulfilled! I am already planning my next visit!Read More

“ Yoga Retreat Heaven”Reviewed 6th June 2015
It was my first time to visit the Burren Yoga retreat and I was of course a bit nervous. I shouldn’t have been as the owner, Dave, made me feel so welcome. Going to the Burren Yoga retreat has been the best thing I have done for myself. It was heaven! I met lovely genuine people, participated in excellent yoga and meditation classes run by Tadgh! Ate beautiful vegetarian food made by Paddi and relaxed in an environment full of kindness and love. I would recommend it to anyone!!!….Read More
